Reply #15: Bull. In spite of 50 years of such wishful thinking prattling so called "renewable energy"

has failed to produce significant energy, hydroelectricity excepted.

Thus far it all has been lipstick on the dangerous fossil fuel pig and is usually hyped by people - the ignorant circus masses excepted - by people who are paid by dangerous fossil fuel companies.

Hydroelectricity actually killed more than 1/4 of a million last century, not that we hear anything from green washing anti-nukes about that topic, no hand wringing about actually observed dead.

They. Couldn't. Care. Less.

Wind is a trivial form of energy with a short untested history and yet it has killed more people in the United States than nuclear, which is the largest source of greenhouse gas free primary energy - nuclear energy - has injured in more than 50 years of operations.

Two months ago, a three million dollar windmill weighing 187 tons crashed without warning in a field across from a private home.

NOT ONE hand waving wishful thinking scare monger here reported it. Zero. Zilch.

If these things ever get to an exajoule scale, we're going to have deaths all over the place, still accompanied by huge loud mouthed concern from people who know zero science about imaginary deaths from nuclear energy and who couldn't care less about the people who are actually killed by stuff that is vastly inferior to nuclear energy from an environmental, economic and sustainability perspective.
